Qrew LegendWell, nobody ever asked that question before. Surprisingly, to me at least, there are API calls to get and set Application variables Here is some help on that.

An alternative using Application Variables would be a helper table with only one record in it and setting a relationship from that one record to any other table where you need the values looked up. Or you could use a formula query.
Then you could edit that record more "normally" by editing that record.
An advantage of storing values on a regular Quickbase record is they become visible to users and you can have users manually edit who are not administrators.
You use a Make Request step to call the API.
